THE BODY AFTER DEATH.
-Four Methods Which May be Used IL
lieu of Inhumation-The Latest.

Four Methods Which May be Used In
lieu of Inhumation-The Latest.
Moiern science has determined positively
against the common practice of Inflammation
on sanitary grounds. Wherever the popula-
ton is dense, as it is in all great cities. it is
seen at once that the custom of burying the
bodies OF deceased persons is a certain and
fruitful source of disease. Water and dir are
alike polluted and rendered dangerous to life
by the placing in the earth the lifeless Jumps
of clay which will in time be resolved into
their native element, but which, in the mean
time, give forth noxious exhalations. For
this reason the practice of intra-mural burial
has been done away with, and modern ceme-
teries are placed as far as possible from
municipal centers.
In lieu Of Inflammation, the scientists of the
present day have devised four methods,
namely, cremation, cementation, coking and
electro-plating. Cremation is only the classic
funeral pyre, but without any of its unpleas-
ant and revolving attendants. The body is
reduced to a handful OF ashes by intense heat
in a furnace, so arranged that nothing dis
agreeable transpires during the process.
The process of coking Is similar, but in
stead of being burned the body is exposed to
a lameless heat and reduced to a hard, brittle
substance instead OF to ashes.
Concentration does not deal directly with tho
body but with its environments. 1t consists
In Theoretically sealing the coffin by a coat OF
the finest cement all round it. The advan-
tages of a ~sarcophagus are secured in this
way without it's expense.
But the latest method and one which is
growing into popular favor Is electro plating.
1t is the application OF a perfectly even
metallic coating to the surface of the body
itself by the same process which produces an
electrotype plate. The method is briefly this:
The body is washed with alcohol and
%sprinkled over with fine graphite powder, to
insure the perfect conduction of electricity.
1t is then placed in a bath Of metallic solution
containing a piece Of the metal to be used.
To this is attached the positive pole OF a
strong battery, the negative pole is applied to
the body and a fine film OF the metal at once
begins to cover the body perfectly and
evenly. This may be kept up until the coat
ing attains any desired thickness.
To this process there would seem to be no
valid objection. In effect 1t transforms tho
corpse in a beautiful statue, form, features
and even expression being perfectly pre-
served. No change is brought about in ap-
p%earance, except that face and figure are
covered with a shining veil, through which
the familiar lineaments appear with all their
well-remembered characteristics and ex-
~pression.-San Francisco Chronicle.

RUSSIA'S ATTITUDE.
Lord Salisbury's Speech Declared
All That Could be Expected.

ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. 99.-The Jour
nal de st. Petersburg commenting on the
attitude of Great Britain with respect to
foreign affairs, as revealed by the pro-
Ceedings at the opening of Parliament,
says it could not expect from the Marquis
Of Salisbury any sounder or more equita-
BILE view OF Russia's intentions than that
which ne condescended to make in
the House OF Lords on Thursday. Lord
Randolph Churchilps statement, the
journal says, would enable Russia to
form an opinion concerning Lord Sails
bury's answering pacific policy. ke-
terring to Bulgaria the journal SAYS 1t is
impossible Tor Russia 10 treat with the
regency. Negotiations between Rnssia
and the Porte may, however, the paper
thinks. result in an arrangement based on
Russia's programme for The formation Of
a government in Bulgaria. The manner
in which Russia has entered into these
negotiations relieves her OF responsibility
tor the consequences OF 4 prolOngaIon Of
anarchy in Bulgaria.
AUsTRIA's ACTIVITY.
BERLIN, Jan. 29.-It is ascertained that
the continued concentration of Austrian
troops in GalicIa, aud the huge transpor-
tatiOn of war material thither, adds un-
easiness in financial circles. There are
also other war indications.
The Cologne Gazette states that at
Maintz, and in the districts around there,
young men who were recruited last aut-
umn and then sent home as superhuous,
are now under orders to join their colors
by April.
Mulhausen papers announce purchases
of large school buildings at Zillshelm,
near ColmRr, for barracks for German
troops. Reinforcements have arrived at
DieuZe, HaKenau and other frontier ports

French are building wooden barracks at
Gerardmer to accommodate 1900 men,
and at CorcieuX for 5000 more, and that
at other places in the N0sges smaller bar
racks are being erected. The garrisons
at Eoinal, Bruyeres and st. Vie have
each been reinforced with 5000 troops.
The Freissinige Zeitung contends that
the building OF barracks by the French
and the adoption Of other measures are in
evitable precautions in view of the rein
forcement of the German garrisons in AL
SAGE.
The National ZeItung SAYS it sees that
France is preparing for immediate war.
